Behney Energizes Lafayette Base

Republican Richard Behney visited Lafayette, Indiana on Saturday as part of his whirlwind state appearances with a question/answer session.  At Purdue University’s Beering Hall of Liberal Arts & Education, he spoke of his background and emphasized that America is a nation of laws which need to be followed with respect to immigration.  He received applause when mentioning the need to “reclaim our sovereignty, states’ rights, and our liberties.”  He lamented the Health Care bill first with mourning, then with anger.  “Are you a freeman or are you a slave?  Someone else will determine when you live or die.”  He asked the crowd that on the May 4^th primary, people should ask themselves “is it the people or the party”.  Behney said he was pleased to receive the nationally known ‘I caucus’ endorsement among the Indiana candidates running for U.S. Senate, receiving ‘over 75% of the group’s vote as best fundamentally qualified’ in alliance with our founding documents.  His name is listed on I caucus as follows:

Two Opposite Rallies Carry Temper

Kill the Bill Rally- Indianapolis, In.

A "Kill the Bill" Rally in Indianapolis began at 4:30 p.m. Monday 15^th on the south steps of the Statehouse with hundreds listening to various speakers including keynote speaker, U.S. Rep. Mike Pence.   "We don't like health care reform that forces every American to buy health insurance whether they want it or need it or not."  

Diane Hubbard of Mooresville was credited publically for helping to coordinate the Tea Party which she said donations would be helpful to defray the $4,000.00 event expense.

RNC SIGN COVERUP AT D.C. TEA PARTY

Several Tea Party groups arrived in DC. for a Rally on the 16^th to resist the current Obamacare Health plan under consideration by Congress.  Occurring on a Tuesday, it was nowhere near the tens of thousands during previous highly advertised events, with some pro-Obama adherents mocking the low turnout.  Freedom Works, Tea Party Express, Tea Party Patriots, Nationwide Tea Party Coalition,  and a myriad of other conservative groups denounced the latest Congressional tactics of  forced reconciliation and passing a rule ‘deeming’ the bill passed without actually voting per se for it.  The week’s events were labeled “Code Red” or “Take the Town Halls to Washington.”

Most Tea Party constituents hold both major parties as culprits of big government spending and control freaks contributing to dysfunctional governance and are skeptical of usurpers claiming credit or hijacking the grass roots conservative insurgency.  It is with annoyance and a distraction that the RNC paid for buttons and signs distributed for the event, but later covered up that fact by placing black tape over the claim at the bottom of signs.  Take a side by side look at the same sign. The GOP will no more buy off protesters with paid signs anymore than other tricks in the political grab bag.  While the sign issue is minor, the principle is major, especially  when compared to the prime reason for the protest as Tea Party adherents know that their most effective means for changing how Washington works is not who paid for a sign but how their vote is cast in November.
